Abstract

ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢"šÂ¬Ã‹Å“Complex(ity)ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢ is currently fashionable in the humanities. Fashions come and go, but in this article I argue that the interest in complexity connects with something deeper, an intellectual revolution that began before complexity became trendy, and will continue after the spotlight passes on. Yet to make this case, and understand and advance this revolution, we need a better take on ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢"šÂ¬Ã‹Å“complexityÃƒÂ¢Ã¢"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢.
